For those who get there first

With a Rugged and reliable construction the HeartStart FRx AED makes it perfect for the first responder

Rugged design - Ready for real-world use

The HeartStart FRx was built to surpass rigorous testing requirements: withstanding jetting water, crushing loads of up to 500 pounds, and a one-meter drop onto concrete.

On-demand CPR coaching

Talks you through your training

The HeartStart FRx features CPR coaching and intuitive icon-driven operation. Calm, clear voice instructions are tailored to the responder’s actions, providing guidance during the resuscitation of an SCA victim.

Lightweight

At just 3.5 pounds, the HeartStart FRx is light and portable, allowing for easy transport. Its size and weight make it perfect for police officers, firefighters, and trained public servants.

Built-in self test

Ready when needed

Your HeartStart FRx goes through a 120-point test before it leaves the factory. On the job, it conducts self tests every single day, not just weekly. It performs over 80 different tests in all. Even the pads are tested for readiness.

SMART Biphasic therapy

Safely delivers maximum shock strength

Philips SMART Biphasic therapy uses a unique combination of high current - to increase effectiveness, and a lower energy dose - to decrease side effects that are harmful to a fragile heart.

Quick Shock

Minimize chest compression interruptions

CPR is even more vital to survival than previously realized. Rapidly delivering a shock after chest compressions is critical. The HeartStart FRx’s Quick Shock feature reduces the time between hands-off and shock delivery.

Ready-Pack

Ready to rescue, out of the box

The HeartStart FRx Ready-Pack configuration arrives virtually ready-to-rescue. The device is pre-installed in the carry case and the battery and pads are pre-installed in the device. You have peace of mind that it is deployed correctly.

Patient Analysis

Patient Analysis Evaluates patient ECG to determine if a rhythm is shockable. Rhythms considered shockable are ventricular fibrillation (VF), and certain ventricular tachy-cardias (VT) associated with lack of circulation. For safety reasons, some VT rhythms associated with circulation will not be interpreted as shockable, and some very low-amplitude or low-frequency rhythms will not be interpreted as shockable VF.

Battery Back to top

Install-by Date Battery is labeled with an install-by date of at least five years from date of manufacture.

Standby Life Four years typical when battery is installed by the install by date.(Will power the AED in standby state within the specified standby temperature range, assuming one battery insertion test and no uses.
